I Wanna Do it Myself Layout

As Mom's most of us go through that stage with our kids as toddlers when they want to do everything themselves! When my daughter was 2 we went through this stage. I found these photos in my stash and was just going to do a simple layout with the photos. Luckily I have been keeping a family blog for the last few years. I went through it and found this entry about how at this time Ava, my daughter, was very much into her independence. I was so happy to have that entry so it would make my layout complete!

I used Cricut Lyrical Letters for the title and flowers on this layout. I stamped around my journaling box and for the border around the pink with my Market Street Stamps Simply Stitched Border stamps. I cut out the brown with my scalloped edge punch and tore the little green piece with flowers on it for added dimension. I got this layout idea from the page maps book, a gift from my friend Nancy for my birthday. I love this book! It has helped me so much in my scrapbooking.
